Bell Let's Talk Day ideas for work

Bell Let's Talk Day is Tuesday 26 January 2027. This year Bell is asking people to move past awareness to small everyday actions, like taking a moment and breathing mindfully. At work, the idea that does that is time: half an hour in the workday where your team slows down together, with nobody asked to talk about their own mental health.

The date, and what Bell is asking for this year

The 17th Bell Let's Talk Day is Tuesday 26 January 2027. Bell is building on last year's idea of taking a moment for mental health, and asking for simple everyday actions: mindful breathing, moving, creativity, gratitude, connecting with people, kindness. Bell's free toolkit has the posters and conversation cards.

A team can mark the day without anyone saying a word about themselves

The day is called Let's Talk, and for plenty of people talking in front of colleagues is the hard part. A shared half hour of quiet asks nothing of them. Everyone takes the same moment, together, and nobody has to explain why they needed it.

A moment, not another poster

A live sound bath is thirty minutes in the workday. Your team sits in their chairs, in their own clothes, and listens. Steve explains what the sound is doing, then we play. That is the moment Bell is asking for, built into the day instead of left to everyone's lunch break.

One moment for a team across the country

Late January, half your team is remote. Over Zoom, everyone joins from wherever they are, on headphones, and hears the same session at the same time. It is live, never a recording: Steve plays every bowl, strike by strike, in stereo.

Then keep it past January

Teams often start with one session and ask for more. Adobe's team has had a weekly session with us since 2022. Start with one, then listen to what your people say.
